My Eyes

My eyes

About 3 yrs ago my vision went completely black. I get what looks like the light in a room dims then flicks to normal again. There was some tightening like a string feeling in the back of my eyes and I see flashing lights every now and then. Dr. What is wrong with my eyes?

No way we can tell for sure. You need to see an Eye MD ophthalmologist as well as your family physician.

The problem could be disease of the heart, brain, blood vessels, eye or a migraine variant.

I recently got my full eye examination and explained everything to my eye doc. He says my eyes are perfectly healthy and to talk to my psychiatrist or primary care doctors. I still dont know what it is. Could is be psychological?
